It all kicked off with roughly 45 minutes to go before kick-off in Basel as Liverpool and Sevilla prepared to go head to head in the Europa League final.

All day long we've been seeing videos of Liverpool fans having a fantastic time in the streets singing songs and mobbing Sami Hyypia, but sadly a few muppets decided that the presence of Sevilla fans warranted a great big scrap once inside the stadium.
And it was a rather big one, so much so that riot police needed to be brought in:

Ugly scenes. What is it about all-day boozing and football that some people just can't help but act like an eejit?
Aside from that idiocy, the vast majority of the fans have been behaving themselves and doing what we all expected of them... Belting out their club songs.

Let's hope the match lives up to the atmosphere, although there may be a few red cards if that is actually the case.
